Statistics Lithuania informs that based on provisional data volumes of gross domestic product (GDP) per capita increased in all counties in 2007.
As in the previous year, the bulk of GDP per capita, against the country’s average, fell per Vilnius (154.9 per cent) and Klaipėda (102.6 per cent) counties. Vilnius county is the most important region of the country. Nominal GDP per capita in 2007 in Vilnius county grew by 20 per cent (in the country – by 20.2 per cent). Economic results of Vilnius county depend a lot on the industrial and non-industrial service sector. As many as 71 per cent of the county’s value added fall per services (nationally – 63 per cent), while per industry – just 27.6 per cent (nationally – 32.8 per cent). Klaipėda county is one of the most successfully developing regions of the country. Nominal GDP per capita in 2007 in Klaipėda county grew by 17.8 per cent. As compared to Vilnius county, industry in Klaipėda county is more developed. In Klaipėda county, 32.7 per cent of the county’s value added fall per industry.
In 2007, the most inconsiderable increase (by 13.3 per cent) in nominal GDP per capita was recorded in Panevėžys county. In six counties (Alytus, Marijampolė, Panevėžys, Šiauliai, Tauragė and Utena), the share of GDP per capita still does not exceed 80 per cent of the national average.
The results demonstrate that the gap between Vilnius and other regions did not narrow in 2007 but became even wider. The per capita GDP in Vilnius county, was two and more times higher than that in Alytus, Marijampolė, Panevėžys, Šiauliai, Tauragė and Utena counties.
Due to the revision of national accounts indicators in 2000–2007 (considering new sources of information and implementation of methodological changes), Statistics Lithuania revised GDP by counties according to the data of 2000–2006.
